Last Thursday I was delighted to spend the morning with art world educator, curator and former gallerist Amy Smith-Stewart addressing her students at one of the Sotheby's Institute of Art 'Short Courses.' Titled 'The Gallery Business: A Practical Guide', I helped Amy kick off her three-day program with a very tightly packaged overview of the history of New York's art galleries. Fifty years in 90 minutes is quite the challenge so to anyone interested in attending this annual offering next year, I strongly recommend you read the book!

On Wednesday May 15th, from 11 am until 1pm, I will be working again with my long-time friend and colleague Lacy Doyle at Artview offering an architectural history and gallery tour of SoHo.
Working from the early chapters of Art on the Block we will go back to the late 1960s cradle of the downtown art world and revisit some of the original haunts where pioneers like Paula Cooper, Ivan Karp, Leo Castelli and Mary Boone first began. We will also be looking in on some of the galleries and not-for-profits that have chosen to stay in SoHo all of these years and a number of newer enterprises that have succumbed to it's lingering charms. Register for the tour below.
